    What’s even more ridiculous is that this is actually shrinkflation in the guise of a good deal. These are replacing 18 packs, not 12 packs.

        Where is “here”? In the USA there are 6 packs, 12 packs, 18 packs, and cases (24 packs).

          I always thought the 18 was a shrunken 24. I only remember 12, 6, and 24. Is 18 a thing? Is it a cardboard box?

            Yeah, it’s a cardboard box. It looks identical to the 24 can case, but there are 6 less in the box. They’re popular at gas stations and convenience stores. They were pretty much a staple back in college.

            Edit: if you’re in the USA, then I wonder if it’s a regional thing limited to the West Coast.

            18 packs do exist, they just aren’t nearly as common to find.

            I always seem to run into them in podunk gas stations that violate “not for individual resale” labeling for some reason though, lol.
